Michael Hegeman — Printmaker

Michael creates original intaglio prints that combine etching with multi-plate monoprint processes. Built through successive layers of ink and multiple printing stages, each work develops through a careful balance of material and process.

He completed one year of formal printmaking training under Yvonne Rees Pagh at the University of Tasmania in Australia, establishing technical foundations in intaglio processes before developing his practice independently.
Since then, his work has developed through sustained studio practice in the Netherlands.

Each print is a unique outcome of the printing process, produced through sequential plate interactions and ink stages that result in non-identical impressions.
